He said a case was filed after the &#8220;sophisticated operation&#8221; was exposed, and a probe ordered by state CID. &#8220;But here&#8217;s the twist: while EC had earlier shared part of the documents needed to trace the forgery, it has now stonewalled the crucial information &#8211; effectively shielding those behind the &#8216;vote chori&#8217;&#8230; Who is it protecting?&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW DELHI: Congress ON Sunday said Trai has rejected its application to send SMSes to its workers in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50508,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[9,37239,18,37242,117,2193,19,387,2191,2192,17,37240,327,37241,1830,37238],"class_list":{"0":"post-50507","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-congress-party","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-election-commission","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-google-news","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-india","16":"tag-india-news","17":"tag-india-news-today","18":"tag-ireland","19":"tag-maharashtra-elections-2024","20":"tag-movies","21":"tag-sms-protest-content","22":"tag-today-news","23":"tag-trai"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50507\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
